I was forty six when diagnosed so the following year I asked about an ooph as my periods had stopped with chemo and I preferred to take an A1 rather than Tamoxifen. My onc agreed saying I was so highly positive it was best to have them removed, I'd guess in your case your onc is considering your age in his decision not to do one right now and wait a while.
